230 On new Species of Asiatic Lepidoptera Heterocera. 



indistinctly banded with brown. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 4 lines. 



N.E. Himalayas {Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



69. Cidaria aurigena, sp. n. 



Allied to G. inewtricata and cerosa* : the primaries much 

 more golden than either, the dark brown markings, being 

 confined to the base, costal border, the large patch which 

 crosses the end of the cell and which is acutely angulated, and 

 to the apex; all the other spots which are brown in G. inew- 

 tricata, and partly so in C. cerosa, are of a brassy-golden 

 colour in this species : secondaries with scarcely a trace of 

 the white discal stripes : body pale brassy yellowish ; thorax 

 greenish in the centre, with a brown longitudinal dorsal stripe. 

 Under surface brassy yellow, with greyish lines, as in G. in- 

 extricata. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. 



N.E. Himalayas {Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



Apart from differences of pattern and coloration, this species 

 measures about half an inch less in expanse of wings than G. 

 inextricata ; the latter differs from G. cerosa in having ten 

 instead of eight yellow lines and stripes across the costal half 

 of the primaries, and in the dark brown spots on the border 

 near the external angle. 



70. Cidaria aliena, sp. n. 



Nearly allied to G. aurata of 'the G. cory lata group : prima- 

 ries black-brown, crossed at basal third and again on the disk 

 near the outer margin by two widely diverging ochreous 

 bands, touched here and there with ferruginous, and bordered 

 by tolerably regularly dentate-sinuate white lines ; a cunei- 

 form costal apical spot and a small spot near the centre of 

 external border of the same ochreous colour, but not white- 

 bordered ; outer border towards the external angle almost 

 wholly ferruginous ; a marginal series of slender white lunules; 

 fringe ochreous, spotted with blackish : secondaries white, 

 tinted, especially towards the outer margin, with golden 

 yellow, fringe ochreous : body white, spotted with yellow and 

 dark brown alternately. Primaries below altogether paler than 

 above : secondaries white, speckled with dark brown, and 

 crossed in the middle by two parallel irregularly arched dark 

 brown lines ; a blackish discocellular spot ; indications of a dark 

 brown submarginal line ; veins almost wholly yellow ; legs 

 brownish. Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 lines.
